This is just my little PSA. From the time I learned how to properly directional block, I struggled with one thing: after successful block, the targeted body part would often switch to something else, seemingly at random. I spent possibly several hours with google trying to find if anyone else experienced this bug and if there are workarounds.
Turns out it's a FEATURE, called "targeting gesture". If you quickly move your mouse (r-stick) up, it will target head, left/right to target hands... Since directional blocks use the same movement, this is likely to trigger during frantic blocking. Bad idea to have something like this enabled by default IMO. But at least gameplay menu has a slider called "targeting gesture sensitivity". Slide it to 0 - no targeting gestures and I'm free to block and cut whatever I like.
